Download or read book Shaya written by Alon Shaya and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2018-03-13 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exciting debut cookbook that confirms the arrival of a new guru chef . . . A moving, deeply personal journey of survival and discovery that tells of the evolution of a cuisine and of the transformative power and magic of food and cooking. From the two-time James Beard Award-winning chef whose celebrated New Orleans restaurants have been hailed as the country's most innovative and best by Bon Appétit, Food & Wine, Saveur, GQ, and Esquire. "Alon's journey is as gripping and as seductive as his cooking . . . Lovely stories, terrific food." --Yotam Ottolenghi, author of Jerusalem: A Cookbook "Breathtaking. Bravo." --Joan Nathan, author of King Solomon's Table Alon Shaya's is no ordinary cookbook. It is a memoir of a culinary sensibility that begins in Israel and wends its way from the U.S.A. (Philadelphia) to Italy (Milan and Bergamo), back to Israel (Jerusalem) and comes together in the American South, in the heart of New Orleans. It's a book that tells of how food saved the author's life and how, through a circuitous path of (cooking) twists and (life-affirming) turns the author's celebrated cuisine--food of his native Israel with a creole New Orleans kick came to be, along with his award-winning New Orleans restaurants: Shaya, Domenica, and Pizza Domenica, ranked by Esquire, Bon Appétit, and others as the best new restaurants in the United States. These are stories of place, of people, and of the food that connects them, a memoir of one man's culinary sensibility, with food as the continuum throughout his journey--guiding his personal and professional decisions, punctuating every memory, choice, every turning point in his life. Interspersed with glorious full-color photographs and illustrations that follow the course of all the flavors Shaya has tried, places he's traveled, things he's experienced, lessons he's learned--more than one hundred recipes--from Roasted Chicken with Harissa to Speckled Trout with Tahini and Pine Nuts; Crab Cakes with Preserved Lemon Aioli; Roasted Cast-Iron Ribeye; Marinated Soft Cheese with Herbs and Spices; Buttermilk Biscuits; and Whole Roasted Cauliflower with Whipped Feta.

Download or read book I m Not Crazy Just Bipolar written by Wendy K. Williamson and published by Author House. This book was released on 2010-11-09 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just as a photographer might shoot a photo through a colored lens, Wendy Williamson skillfully holds up the filter of mania and depression for her reader to peer through. With heart-wrenching honesty and humor, she shows the effects of bipolar disorder on the mind, body and soul of those who suffer from it. Publisher's Weekly says: "Williamson's prose is direct and thankfully not given to flowery language or circumspectness about her condition. The book is straightforward and the author achieves something difficult in a memoir: she remembers feelings from a period of her life, while still providing distance and perspective. Williamson's analysis of the mental health field and mental health professionals is insightful without being preachy, and she presents her story with grace and humor." National Alliance on Mental Illness' The Advocate: "skillfully weaves together several levels of a young woman's life... [it] is, like its title, an assertion that a life touched by bipolar disorder is still a life with its own logic. The book does a great job at describing that logic."

Download or read book How Strong Is Your Titanium written by Joey McQuaig and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2010-06 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the true story of the misadventures of Joey McQuaig, a middle-aged man, who a tears the cartilage in his knee. Osteoarthritis soon develops in both knees and spreads to both hips. The doctor's orders are for total knee and hip replacements. Joey is going to be a "4 by 4." Amazingly, he returns to physical activity as he did...twenty years ago earlier, even though his body is older, his hips and knees are titanium. The results are comical as our survivor slips, slides, stumbles and falls-down stairs, off roofs, from ladders and out of vehicles. He learns quickly that titanium doesn't make you Superman...or does it? Joey, a former athlete, decides to resume jogging and begin a search for ways to renew vigor in his life. Along the way, he learns to manufacture natural pain killers and discontinues his meds. Throughout the book you learn of his simple, down-home philosophy about living life with gusto even with titanium joints. With a chance for a renewed life, Joey's endurance of bilateral knee and hip replacements led him to discover "to whom God has given much, much is required to give back to others." Rather than following old and worn paths, he cuts new trails and encourages other to do the same. This survivor learned early on "not to quit" and he doesn't. This inspirational story moves from humorous to profound as readers are challenged to determine what is restricting their growth-physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually as they are asked, "Do you have a wish-bone or a back-bone?" We have a final warning from Joey, "Follow doctor's orders...and your heart as well."

James Odell takes you on a wild, jaw dropping, roller coaster ride of sex, drugs, and the life of crime that he lived as a member of a well known organized crime syndicate. In the late 1990s James Odell quickly rose to the top of the roofing industry where he started making the modern day equivalent of $64,000 a month. He lived a life of power, position, and prestige. But, something went terribly wrong! He ended up losing all the money he made, his family, and his freedom. He became an alcoholic, drug addict, liar, cheat, thief, con, and master manipulator. But one day as he was laying on the floor of a holding cell, in the small town of Bay St. louis, Mississippi, he came to know utter hopelessness an despair like few human beings ever experience, and come back from. He despaired of life and then he begged God to let him die. He looked up and saw the cross and heard something say, "There is hope and victory in Jesus." Author James Odell slipped into unconsciousness and when he woke up the next morning he gave his life to the Lord. He would go onto witness to thousands from the confines of a prison! He also would go on to speak at churches, schools, and treatment centers all over South Mississippi. He is currently a college student at Liberty University and is majoring in psychology. If you need victory in your life at any point, we implore you to read this heart wrenching autobiography and see how God turned Author James Odell's tragedy into triumph.
